Things are still moving in the right direction here at the Nelson house. In the past week Carly has had check-ups with physical therapy, occupational therapy, vision therapy and ophthalmology and they have all noted that they are seeing big improvements. She is doing a lot of smiling and particularly likes playing with her stuffed cat Pete (as in Purdue Pete.) The fluid on top of her head is still there in all of its glory, but it doesn't seem to be causing Carly any pain. She has an ultrasound tomorrow to check on her internal brain pressure to be certain that the fluid isn't harming her. If the ultrasound looks good, we will stick to the plan of waiting until her MRI in January to make a decision on the fluid. The best case scenario would be for the fluid to reabsorb on its own between now and then. We know she can do it.
Love, Brad
